Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the 1997 Asian economic crisis on the level of achieved and desired fertility and on the pattern of socioeconomic differentials. This chapter explores recent changes in the level of fertility and ideal number of children (INC) according to socioeconomic status of the couple. This study focuses on a comparative analysis of children ever born (CEB), the post-1998 CEB and INC of married women. For the second round of comparative analysis, the study population is split into two groups: those married before 1997 and those married for the first time in 1997 or thereafter. The level of CEB and INC as well as the pattern of socioeconomic differentials of the two groups are then compared.
